Prepping to List

So, we've talked to our realtor and she made some suggestions as to what needs to be done to the condo before we can put it on the market:

1.) Paint the ceiling of my bathroom
2.) Paint the bedroom door and the hall bathroom door that we never got around to
3.) Paint the hallway
4.) Stretch the carpet
5.) Finish/paint the kitchen cabinets
6.) Hang closet doors in the spare room and on the linen closet in the hallway
7.) Paint the front door and foyer area

So, that's what we've been up to this week. Kirch is slow and his fall season doesn't start until Monday, so he's been home painting the hallway. I started on the doors and the bathroom ceiling the other night, and now we just have to finish those tasks up this weekend. Then we'll have the closet doors, the front foyer, the carpets, and the kitchen cabinets to do. The carpets are being taken care of by the front office (after 2005's plumbing issues). We can do the cabinets (which I'm SO not looking forward to), but we'll have to get someone in to hang closet doors. We're hoping to have this all done in another month to 6 weeks so we can list by late fall. Our next step will be apartment hunting...

Enough about us, on to our daughter! So, Tuesday night Quinn played out on our back deck for a while while Kirch and I hung out with her. She loves throwing balls around and is constantly saying, "Ball!" After a bath and before we headed into her bedroom for the evening, Kirch and she were playing on the living room floor. He was on his back with his knees propped up and Quinn was straddling his waist. She then proceeded to lift up his shirt, smack his belly and say "Ball!" We were cracking up! And of course, both of us were saying, "well yes, it's kind of a ball!" I wished we could've gotten it on video - it truly was priceless.

We have got a jam-packed weekend lined up - it's Labor Day already! And tomorrow is September! I'll have plenty of pictures to post when all is said and done.
